Bills - Financial Management

Pebbles · 01-11-2008, 12:57 PM

Do you pay your bills on their due dates or as they come in, provided the funds are available?

I used to pay right on the due date. Not a big deal but sometimes the $$ would be gone already. Dh was like pay them when we get paid so it's over and done with.

If I wait for the due date, sometimes the $$ doesn't go through right away and we end up with a late fee! (

) so I like to pay them when the $$ comes in, if possible!

I have them scheduled to be paid the first payday after I get the bill. So usually about two weeks before the due date.

I pay them when we get paid and according to due date. so if something typically has a due date of the 20th then on the 15th I pay all the bills with due dates between the 15th-EOM. same with the EOM pay period. Mostly because I don't want to forget one and then not have the money for it kwim?

We pay them when we get paid. Almost all of our bills are scheduled around the 2 paydays so that helps a lot too

I have all my bills split up to be paid on paydays, so they typically get paid 5-10 days before the due date.

We just pay them as they come in. We know what bills we have so we just set aside the money every pay period.

For my cell phone, I pay it the day before by calling the direct payment line.
All other bills, I pay them at least 2 days before they're due. 99% of our bills can be paid in person or online w/o fees!

We pay them as soon as we get the money as we are trying to become debt free and the sooner bills are paid, the sooner we know exactly how much we have to pay down our debt

We pay all our bills -minus rent- on the 15th! ( most are due a few days after ) and we pay them online.
